Show me your compact pedalboard setup

I've left things this way for the past few months, except the tuner. I just swapped in the Sonic Research unit, replacing my Pitch Black, which was misbehaving.

Not on the board but were there previously are the EBS OctoBass and the fDeck pre. I found I wasn't using them much so pulled them off.

Latest iteration: Timmy arrived today, Sea Blue EQ and Broughton HPF + LPF recent additions. B3K gone, MXR BOD gone, Vortex Mini gone.


Mount your 1590A pedals on the Cali and you have space enough to orient the Cali horizontally... or more space for another pedal. :D

@gadgetgirl: The Sea Blue EQ adds a certain something to the sound which is pretty hard to describe, but sort of both thickens up the overall sound as well as opening it up. Will have to do a review soon with some sound clips. I originally wanted a Blueberry BOD but there were none left in the country and I'd seen a couple of people that had like the Sea Blue and I wanted some more EQ facilities on the pedal so I went ahead a bought it and have been very happy with it. Pretty much stays on with all my basses, adds a little bit of overdrive when you dig in hard.

@Rocksolid: Yeah, I asked Josh if he could build both circuits into the 1590a without the switch and he quite happily said he could :D

@Feral Feline: I did actually have a pedal mounted on the Cali76 on an earlier iteration. The Cali is the tallest pedal on the board though and it doesn't fit into the case that well. I actually had a jam last night and have decided to remove the EP Booster again (it keeps coming and going). Nice pedal that adds a definite boost in the mid range, but it adds too much woolliness to most of my basses, so I'm going to move it over to my guitar board. Just about to rearrange them again and should be able to have the Cali back the right way!
 
To all you small board experts, what is the difference between the Cioks DC-5 and Adam? And what are some power supply options for nano sized boards? I downsized to a PT Nano+ and I'm using a one spot and it works fine, but I'd like something isolated.

I have a Nano+ and power with a Power All. I use a couple IsoPump's to isolate what need's isolation.

J!
